I agree, it is no longer about the music or the night out really, its all about them trying to show off, badly all to often.

I believe so, done for "friends"

The sooner the wheels fall off the bandwagon and the leeches and others exploiting the scene f&ck *ff the better. Northern Soul my arse.

The knowledge in those days was amazing, years before the internet. How would todays generation manage?

What a crock of sh*te

We have digitised magazines in the past, Shades of Soul, Backbeat etc so I thought I'd do Rod Dearloves magazine from the early 80s, Midnight Express. Here is issue 1, I'll do the others, well up to issue 7, as time allows. Not sure if there were other issues after 7? Midnight Express Issue 1.PDF

It was massive at the time, floor filler for Alan wherever he played, Butch and Carl also.

Shifty got two copies from Barry Wickham in LA, sold one to Carl Fortnum. Ginger was some time after, may have been Shifty's when he sold up? It was early to mid 90s, 92/3? before I got married in 1996.

Think it was a Shifty discovery....could be wrong and it was Butch??? Here n the UK anyway. Be at least 30 years ago I guess.

Was Guy at Stafford.

I still have a technics cassette deck in the room with Project turntable on top. I have an ION USB tapemplayer to transfer tapes to PC.

The Tramp reissue is from 2010, couple of different ones too

further evidence of a resurgence in cassette tapes, we now have a bluetooth tape player, bit expensive but still.... https://www.wearerewind.com/en-gb

You sure, that would be an oldie surely by 1983

Definitely done on a mobile Mick

Not heard that one mate, Kitch put a video up on facebook some months ago.

Kitch has the female version of Burning Sensation.

I thought she was a good dancer but unlike you I thought the spins etc were out of place with the record, if they were where they should be rather than going through a routine then she should have won. Jack was a worthy dancer IMO. Didn’t see enough of the other guy but from what I saw was just doing the tricks for the sake of it and what was the shufflin about?

Thats me mate and thanks

It could have been, I can’t remember. Quick look at one store…. https://hmv.com/store/music/cassettes

Some acts have been using and releasing material; on cassettes for some years now. The manufacturers who stopped making them now make them again.

Two shows to catch up, 2nd November with Jordan Wilson taking the reins whilst Dean is on a break and this weeks show (9th) with Ady Crampton in the hot seat.
